Who is The Sapphire Spectre? When she was 18 years old, Sylvia Sloane had an encounter with a powerful ghost/demon hybrid that killed her and her family. However, through an unknown force, she was resurrected and given a second shot at life. She soon discovered she can make her living body enter a "death stasis" at will and project her own ghost into the spiritual plane. Shaken but determined, Sylvia discovered she's comprised of energy far beyond that of the average spirit, and uses this power to right wrongs and dispatch of evil spirits, demons and other etherial undesirables. Now, in her early 20's, Sylvia has gained a reputation as a powerful force of vengeance in the ghostly dimension as The Sapphire Spectre. She will not stop fighting until the gap between the world of the living and the dead is closed for good. Who is this comic for? Anyone! It's got a bit of horror, a bit of humor, a bit of rock n roll and a little superheroine. If I were to give The Sapphire Spectre as a whole a "movie rating" for content, it would be a "harsh PG-13" or "light R" rating. Some swearing, some fantasy-violence and not overtly heavy on the sexy content, but it's there. It's reccomended for Jr. High and above.
Hi y'all!
I'm totally floored with the amount of backing we've got on Issue 3! Come check it out! I wanna tell you what I'm thinking here. Okay so on Issue 2, I did sketch cards for every physical backer as we neared the end. I wanna do the same this time since we passed 11k BUT! As 12k looms on the horizon....And I know my arms are gonna regret this... I want to do every sketch card in ink and color for issue 3! That's RIGHT. Not just pencil, but a pic of the new villainess Violet Void in all her gory glory in ink and color! EACH OF YOU (physical) Issue 3 backers get one. No special treatment on this. I'm always looking for new ways to go that extra mile and I hope you'll dig it. :)
Spread the word too! Share SapphireSpectre.com any and everywhere you can!
We have been teetering around the $11k mark for several days now, but I am happy to announce we are officially unlocking the Sketch Cards stretch goal! Every physical backer will receive their own little piece of original art featuring Sapphire Spectre! REMARQUES are still available! Choose your favorite cover and select Remarque as an add on!

Part one of a planned 3-part horror-fantasy graphic novel of marvelous retribution and dreadful delight, Shockheaded Peter is a cautionary tale about the harbinger of punishment and a teenage girl’s desire to join his disturbing crusade. When Shockheaded Peter arrives in the small town of Winding Springs, he sets in motion a macabre game of cat and mouse that has terrible consequences for all the malicious townsfolk. As gruesome and fantastical punishments are doled out, our teenage heroine Ruby, a girl with an actual broken heart, discovers her true purpose. Shockheaded Peter conjures up a crossbreed of Labyrinth and A Nightmare on Elm Street with Tim Burton vibes sprinkled on top. Back this amazing project today at http://kck.st/3ir5z9h.
